I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss having a little more control over my time. Even something as simple as running an errand or making last-minute plans takes some figuring out. After 16 years, I’m used to it. That doesn’t mean I never struggle with it.

But I’m genuinely happy to see my girl and hear about her day. She’s never been “the problem.” She didn’t ask for any of this any more than I did. We’re just figuring it out together.

🌎 BEYOND WORDS. WE CONNECT. 🤟

There’s more to our newest patch than meets the eye.

Look closely at the globe. The colors aren’t random. Each of the five colors of the Disability Pride Flag is represented, symbolizing the diversity of experiences within the disability community.

At the center is the American Sign Language (ASL) sign for “I love you,” a reminder that connection doesn’t always require spoken words.

Together, they represent experiencing the world differently shouldn’t keep us from connecting with one another.

Introducing the We Connect Patch, the newest addition to the Fifth Stone collection.

🌎 NEW PATCH INCOMING.

BEYOND WORDS. WE CONNECT.

Built around the ASL “I Love You” hand sign, with the globe representing a community that reaches far beyond any one diagnosis, disability, or way of communicating.

Each color of the Disability Pride Flag will be represented across the globe, bringing different parts of the disability community together in one patch.

Dropping soon!

Wear what matters. Make it visible.

Okay, these look RIDICULOUSLY good. 🍪

And the presentation is fantastic. From the box and the “you belong in this batch” card to the cookie care instructions and every cookie being individually wrapped and labeled with its flavor and ingredients, there’s so much attention to detail here.

These are from The Sweet Spectrum, a small-batch micro bakery in Florida founded by an autism mom, and you can tell how much care goes into every part of what she does.

Great cookies with a greater purpose. 💛

Which flavor are you grabbing first?

The Angel Oak in Charleston is over 400 years old. Some of its limbs grow toward the ground before they ever reach up — a shape no arborist would have planned, and no chart could have predicted.

Nobody pruned it into a normal tree. Nobody rushed it, compared it, or tried to correct its direction. It was just given room, and it used every inch of it.

That’s the whole story, really. Not despite the different path — because of it.

These are the little moments I never want to take for granted. ❤️

I hate running.

There. I said it. 😂

But running is good for Addison and helps with her scoliosis, so it’s something we do together.

I also want her to learn that not everything that benefits us is going to be fun. Sometimes taking care of ourselves means doing the thing we’d really rather skip.

So I’m not standing on the sidelines telling her to do something hard.

I’m right there beside her, hating every step. 😂

What’s something you do because it’s good for you, even though you absolutely hate doing it?

Multitasking, disability parent style. ☕
